About P.F. Chang’s

P.F. Chang’s China Bistro, Inc. owns and operates two restaurant concepts in the Asian niche. P.F. Chang’s China Bistro features a blend of high-quality, Chinese-inspired cuisine and American hospitality in a sophisticated, contemporary bistro setting. Pei Wei Asian Diner offers a modest menu of freshly prepared pan-Asian cuisine in a relaxed, warm environment offering attentive counter service and take-out flexibility. In addition, the Company has extended its brands to international markets, airport locations, and retail products all of which are operated under licensing agreements. The Company has also announced an agreement to exercise its right to convert an outstanding loan facility it provided to True Food Kitchen, a Fox Restaurant Concept specializing in healthy, locally sourced and globally inspired meals, to a majority equity position in True Food Kitchen. The Company and True Food Kitchen recently agreed to postpone the effective date of the conversion until October 31, 2012, provided that if the merger of Wok Acquisition Corp. (“Purchaser”) into the Company as described in the tender offer materials is consummated before this date, the Company’s conversion election will be automatically terminated and rescinded and the loan facility will continue to operate in full force and effect and on the same terms and conditions after the merger as prior to the Company’s conversion election.
